Introduce yourself
I'm aaron and I'm a filipino artist in California! Tokyo Mew Mew was the first manga I ever owned, and my favorites are Ichigo and Lettuce! I also love Kiyotaka Ishimaru from danganronpa, musicals, and the color yellow.
When did you start drawing? Are you a digital or traditional artist?
I've been drawing ever since I can remember! I used to draw random people, teen titans, or inuyasha. In high school, I got a hand-me-down wacom tablet from a friend and from there, I started creating my own ocs with backstories. I've been a digital artist since then.
Do you use any traditional mediums? If so, which are your favorites?
I use mechanical pencils and ballpoint pens. I really like using pink, blue, and purple highlighters to color in values, but recently I've been trying to collect actual artistic markers. I think they're calligraphy markers tbh, but they're double sided and they give me more colors so idc XD
Why do you prefer traditional over digital? (or viceversa)
I really like the accessibility of traditional- I can draw wherever I want, as long as I have a pen and paper. But for showing off my work, I'd much rather it be digital. Digital gives me access to so many colors and I can zoom in to create more details. It's also a lot cleaner than taking a picture with my shaky phone quality.
What do you think is the most challenging part about being a traditional/digital artist?
It's difficult for me to choose the correct colors. When I only did traditional, I'd only color in greyscale because that's what mangas did and that's all the colors I had. I can't really work with more than 3-5 tones/colors or else it'll get scared it'll look too busy. I always have to filter my colors to give them a little more life, because the first ones I choose are usually washed out.
What inspires your pieces?
I draw my ocs a lot! Drawing them in different ways and scenarios helps me solidify their designs and personalities. I will often have phases where I'll draw a LOT of my current favorite oc.
Explain your "everyday" drawing process
I'll either draw one single character in a flowy pose, or two characters interacting/posing together. I'll digitally sketch something out and keep erasing and re-drawing the lines on the same layer until I have my line art. I block out colors with a binary pen so that my basic color palette looks good and then select each color so I can put detail in it. Depending on how much energy I have, I'll do simple shading or I'll keep the lineart layer a little sketchy and just color over it for a lineless piece. I don't have a lot of practice with lineless because it takes a lot out of me, but sometimes I get really into it

Do you have an artist you admire (or more than one)?
https://www.instagram.com/treindraws/ (lines/ colors)
https://www.instagram.com/pimikyuu/ (THICK lines, very cartoony)
https://www.instagram.com/thronekin/ (plush shaped characters, cute blush)
https://www.instagram.com/robobogart/ (designs)
https://www.instagram.com/fukashi_gimmick/ (recently followed, bright colors. interesting shapes/flow)
Is there an artwork you are most proud of? Why?
https://ubetaro.tumblr.com/post/182234099603/ubetaro-oh-mom-this-might-be-as-far-as-i-go
I really like this one because it's lineless and I put a lot of effort into the hair and giving it different colors
https://ubetaro.tumblr.com/post/181532773553/1shimaru-danganronpa-secretsanta
I am also proud of this one because it's TWO full body characters with a background and soft lighting. It took a lot of effort out of me but it was really satisfying to finish!"
Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?
Yes! I listen to musicals, chill beats, or 80's/90's music. I can't hear what I'm thinking when the music is too jumpy and fun. I also get distracted when there are people talking, so I can't listen to films or letsplays when I draw
Johnny Balik - Honey
khai dreams - through and through
NIKI - I Like U
Forrest. – Your Soul
Lemon Boy - Cavetown
Lyin' Eyes- Eagles
Billy Joel- For The Longest Time
Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love

What makes art interesting for you?
I like making things! I like how my brain comes up with things and i can make those things become a reality through my art.
What do you do when art block strikes?
If I want to draw, and my art is looking Ugly, then I draw big and messy. Whatever comes to mind naturally, I'll just put it down. I'll draw random people, or big anime eyes. I'll redraw something with a premade design so I don't have to think of the designs myself, or I'll draw someone in a spine-breaking pose and over-exaggerate the features.
What’s the most valuable art advice you’ve ever received?
Experience things! When you experience things, it gives you a personal connection to use in your art.
